Wow, sorry I can't be there. VMS and EBlox luminaries in the same

A regular activity at No Fluff Just Stuff symposiums is a show of
hands poll for who's using what tools and technologies. When the
topic turns to IDEs, and the moderator asks, "IntelliJ?", most of
the symposium speakers raise their hands, along with a few in the
audience. Then on "Eclipse?" just about everybody in the audience
raises their hand. Then somebody shouts, "Who'd pay for Eclipse?",
and just about every hand goes down!
Some liken the Eclipse vs. IntelliJ question to frontier vs. walled
garden. Things are very nice inside the garden but sometimes you
find yourself peeking over the wall at interesting new things that
the gardener hasn't had time for yet. Others liken choosing a tool
just because it's free to being in an arranged marriage. Or maybe
the proposition is benevolent dictatorship vs. anarchy.
Andy Barton has spent a lot of time on the J2EE frontier but
recently decided to experience life in the IntelliJ garden. In this
talk, Andy will demonstrate moving an Eclipse project to IntelliJ
Idea and will discuss the productivity benefits IntelliJ offers over
Eclipse.
